Kylie denies deliberate song leaks

Kylie Minogue has dismissed claims that she deliberately leaked new songs onto the internet as a publicity stunt.

The 'Love At First Sight' star has been heavily criticised after several songs claiming to be from her upcoming album appeared on file-sharing sites last week.

Music website Popjustice wrote: "In the case of Kylie Minogue the constant, relentless barrage of leaked material almost makes it seem as if Someone Up There want us to hear it all."

However, a spokesman for Minogue insisted: "There would be no point songs being released onto the net this far ahead of the release."

Minogue's upcoming album - the follow-up to 2003's Body Language - is due for release before the end of the year.
